His .141 opposing batting average was the lowest mark in school history and his 45 innings pitched led all relievers.

Canada's Freshman Sensation: Left-handed pitcher Ryan became the first freshman in school history to begin his career 11-0 and is just the fifth freshman in school history to lead the team in wins (11).
